The aging population and the desire for individuals to stay in their homes while being cared for has helped to give rise to the home health care franchise industry over the last two decades. According to industry research firm FRANdata, in the last 15 years the number of home health care franchise brands has gone from 13 companies in 300 locations to 56 operating in 6,000 locations. While home health care franchises have an opportunity to make a real difference in communities, there are also challenges that must be properly addressed for continued success and expansion in this growing market. Among these is the ability to meet insurance requirements through continuity of coverage and strong risk management practices, which enable franchisors and their franchisees to manage their exposure effectively and efficiently and maintain brand integrity.
